Come on, it’s 2014! Why isn’t code block evaluation assignment being used yet, as trends show it’s the future!
[code]
UIButton* button = ({
//initialize button with frame
UIButton* button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:({
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(10.0, 10.0, 200.0, 75.0);
frame;
})];
//set button background color
[button setBackgroundColor:({
UIColor* color = [UIColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:1.0 blue:0.0 alpha:1.0];
color;
})];
//set button title for state
[button setTitle:({
NSString* string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"title words"];
string;
}) forState:({
UIControlState state = UIControlStateNormal;
state;
})];
//set selector
[button addTarget:self action:({
SEL select = @selector(method:);
select;
}) forControlEvents:({
UIControlEvents event = UIControlEventTouchUpInside;
event;
})];
//return button
button;
});
[self.view addSubview:button];
[/code]
whoa!
Or the exact results can be accomplished as such:
[code]
UIButton* button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10.0, 10.0, 200.0, 75.0)];
[button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:1.0 blue:0.0 alpha:1.0]];
[button setTitle:@"title words" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(method:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:button];
[/code]
Now ask yourself, are trends really good to follow?
If you found this amusing, follow me on twitter @jdriselvato or up-vote this on stackOverflow
and yes, I did take this to the extreme.. a good clean example of doing this can be seen here.
